中峇鲁地铁站壁画 展现社区历史文化遗产

中峇鲁地铁站壁画 展现社区历史文化遗产 地铁业者SMRT在中峇鲁地铁站设立壁画。(图:黄振灵) 地铁业者SMRT在中峇鲁地铁站设立壁画,让通勤者一览中峇鲁的丰富历史文化遗产和特色地标。 当中包括新加坡改良信托局(SIT)建设的组屋、中峇鲁巴刹、陈笃生墓碑、齐天宫和葫芦庙。 配合成立35周年,SMRT计划在全岛35个地铁站推出“漫画联系”(Comic Connect)壁画,中峇鲁地铁站是这项计划中的第15个地铁站。 继索美塞(Somerset)地铁站,这是SMRT第二次同视觉艺术中心合作设立壁画。 这幅壁画的长度是11.48米、宽2.86米。创作者洪伟坚,谈到了自己的创作灵感和创作时面对的挑战。 “我以醒目的形状和颜色为主要创作灵感和元素,以浪漫的方式捕捉中峇鲁的标志性建筑。我在创作时主要面临的困难在于选择要展示的结构,以及如何简化和保留它们的本质。” 住在花拉路(Farrer Road)的洪伟坚表示,从探索中峇鲁的文化特色到提交作品,整个过程持续了近6个月。他很荣幸能够设计这幅壁画。 他说:“组屋具有强烈的装饰艺术气氛,我认为它至今还是中峇鲁主要的代表建筑。我还想向一些文化元素和一些已经不存在的建筑致敬。” SMRT同本地艺术社群合作,从去年6月起,陆续在大巴窑、实龙岗、巴耶利峇等多个地铁站设立壁画,预计在今年底之前完成这项计划。 You can read the original article here.

艺术疗愈如何让你心理更健康

艺术疗愈如何让你心理更健康 艺术疗愈这个词我们并不陌生,但是我们对艺术疗愈又知道多少呢?当心里出现状况时,我们真的相信艺术疗愈吗?什么样的人群需要艺术疗愈?又是以何种方式进行艺术疗愈呢? 在现代社会里,生活成本高,工作压力大,由于压力导致情绪不稳定,如果压力无法及时排解出去,会出现失眠、忧郁、自闭、恐慌、情绪失常等心理问题。这些问题会出现在各个年龄层,有的青少年儿童小小年纪就有自闭、恐惧、多动症等问题。这些问题如果不是很严重,尝试一下艺术治疗,用绘画来治愈调整情绪,缓解压力,绘画艺术在心里治疗方面会起到辅助作用,能明显提高心里健康。 艺术疗愈 Art Therapy 是以不同艺术方式为媒介,为医治心理,帮助唤起患者的个体情绪,处理他们的困扰。就像瑞士著名心理学家、分析心理学的创始人卡尔·荣格(Carl Jung)(1875 – 1961)所说的,艺术作品是人类潜意识的呈现方式,运用艺术特有的表达方式课以呈现出创作者的心理体验,感受无意识情感外化的创作过程。而艺术疗愈 Art Therapy 更多的就是让需要的(病人)专注于他们的内心体验,自己的感知、想象和感受,而不是表达外部世界的东西。 艺术疗愈就是艺术和心理学完美的结合;它通过运用不同视觉艺术材料和媒介(绘画、手工、粘土、雕刻、拼图等)方式让我们在创作中通过作品和自己对话,进行自我创作和自我探索,有助于缓解内心冲突,行为管理,纾解压力,发泄情绪,提升自信心,在其过程中改善和提升人们的生理、心理及情绪健康。 为什么运用艺术形成来疗愈? 最早的人类是用图像语言的方式记录生活,后期才发展出了语言;那我们在叙述一件事的时候,脑中出现的是图案信息然后才到了言语的表达,当我们在切题别人说一件事的时候,也是我们的脑中先出现了图案再用言语回应了对方。 艺术创作的表达过程是从右脑到左脑的过程,是意识和潜意识的 “语言” 表达,可以把一些在这个过程中遗漏的潜意识信息全部浮现在艺术作品中,从而提高自我认知,解决内心矛盾等疗愈作用。 谁可加入艺术疗愈? 只要是不排斥用艺术的方式疗愈,并有一个开放的心态,都可以加入。 https://vac3.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/14120403/IMG_1856-1.mov 忧郁症,焦虑症等其他情绪问题 心理创伤 特殊儿童 老年失智症 家庭,配偶和情侣关系 亲子关系 人际交往和情绪管理困难 艺术治疗和艺术教育的相似区别点:        都会运用不同艺术材料        艺术治疗目的和着重点不在教育教学艺术技能        艺术治疗中,作品是一种象征性的图像语言的自我表达        艺术治疗关注不在艺术成品,成品不会得到治疗师的美学角度上的评价 新加坡视觉艺术中心和新加坡飞跃心里辅导中心合作推出艺术疗愈课程,欢迎来咨询和报名,联系:62550711 艺术治疗课程分类 个人艺术治疗 亲子艺术治疗 家庭艺术治疗 伴侣艺术治疗 团体艺术治疗 艺术治疗工作坊 公司团建 …
